This excerpt taken from the EQR 10-Q filed Aug 7, 2007.

(a)   Unregistered Common Shares Issued in the Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

On June 25, 2007, the Company issued 324,484 Common Shares, valued at approximately $14.8 million on the date of issuance, to certain preferred partners of a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership upon exchange of 230,000 Preference Interests.  Such shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as these were transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.  In light of the manner of sale and information obtained by the Company from the preferred partners in connection with these transactions, the Company believes it may rely on this exemption.
